Aberlink Educate

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Saving valuable time for lecturers and students

Easy-to-follow SOPs for all fundamental CMM operations, from setup and probing to measurement and reporting. The SOPs help remove common barriers to using CMMs and get students measuring faster.

Progressive Learning with Industry-Relevant Equipment

The Educate package is built around two Aberlink CMMs, supporting a progressive learning pathway:

Fulcrum Manual CMM – Ideal for beginners, the Fulcrum introduces students to manual metrology. With intuitive software, it offers a perfect introduction to metrology principles.

Extol CNC CMM – As students advance, the Extol bridges the gap between education and industry. This shop-floor-ready CNC CMM provides experience with automated inspection routines, a crucial skill in modern manufacturing environments.

University of Wolverhampton - Innovation Campus Enhancements

"Now installed and fully operational, because of its ease of use and the accurate results it delivers, our new Aberlink CMM has been wholeheartedly embraced by our students and is in regular use. In addition to measuring single, one-off components, owing to the Axiom too's CNC nature, when required our students are able to load multiple parts onto the CMM's bed and perform rapid, automated inspection routines."
